BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Senior forward Tierney Jenkins was named to the Preseason All-Southeastern Conference Second Team on Thursday, while the Crimson Tide was selected to finish eighth in the conference by league coaches.
Jenkins has been a solid fixture in the Alabama lineup since arriving on campus three years ago. She led the team in both scoring and rebounding a year ago and collected an SEC-high 11 double-doubles as a junior. Jenkins also became the 22nd member of the Tide's 1,000 Point Club and broke the single-game rebounding record, which had been set over 30 years ago, by collecting 27 at Belmont on Nov. 21, 2009.
Alabama will play its lone exhibition game on Saturday, Nov. 6, when it hosts the University of Alabama in Huntsville at noon CT. The Tide's first regular-season contest will take place on Friday, Nov. 12 against Tennessee State. The women will play the first game in a doubleheader with the men's basketball team beginning at 5 p.m. CT in Coleman Coliseum.
